[QUOTE="Glyfair, post: 4548791, member: 53"] I came to the conclusion that no edition of any RPG is or can be perfect. In my case the conclusion was more easily drawn because my ideals have contradictory elements that always are fighting it out for the right balance. Also, different players are looking for different things in an RPG, and every group will find someone has an issue with some elements of the RPG. That being said, I believe there can be a perfect RPG [B]for you[/B]. By that I mean an RPG that fits what you want in an RPG. It gets tougher though because RPGs are a group activity and you have the added hurdle of the RPG that starts to come close having to fit in with a group you can and will game with. Even then it's not a common experience to find that. In practice I find it's a lot better if you focus less on finding the perfect RPG and settle on getting out of the one (or ones if you like to dabble) you are playing. That doesn't mean you don't keep looking around, but focus less on the flaws of a system that otherwise meets your needs and preferences. [/QUOTE]
